BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[July 16

3. Laundry service for all departments of the University, contract awarded to Hicks Laundry and Dry Cleaning Company, Danville, the low bidder, with the provision t h a t if satisfactory service is not rendered at any time during the two-year period the University shall have the option of terminating the contract on two weeks' notice.

On motion of Mr. Mayer, the action of the President authorizing the execution of these contracts was confirmed.

REPORTING OF CONTRACTS BY THE COMPTROLLER (4.0) On April 12, 1924, the Comptroller was instructed to report a t each meeting of the Board the substance of all contracts entered into as "minor contracts" since the previous meeting. In making these reports he has included contracts which have previously been authorized by the Board as well as contracts which are of a minor nature authorized by the President and simply reported to the Board. Including all contracts in these reports means that much time at meetings and space in the records is given to the reporting of items which have already had full consideration and authorization by the Board. I recommend t h a t the Comptroller be instructed to report to the Board only those contracts and purchase orders which have not previously been considered and authorized by the Board.

On motion of Mr. Cleary, the Comptroller was directed to report only items not previously authorized by the Board.

REPORT OF CONTRACTS A N D PURCHASE ORDERS (41) The following reports from the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board, of contracts and purchase orders executed since the last report:
